Instructions
Pink cupcake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a stand mixer bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Add the butter and mix it in until the mixture resembles crumbles.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
- Add the vanilla and buttermilk, and mix until combined.
- Add the pink food coloring and mix again until all the colors are combined. With a spatula scoop from the bottom of the bowl and mix again. Make sure that the batter are all pink.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 15 – 18 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
Vanilla Frosting
- In a stand mixer bowl, beat the softened butter.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix again.
- While the machine is on, add the milk 1 tbsp at a time until you get the desired consistency.
- Using a piping bag, pipe the frosting on the cooled cupcake.
Pink Chocolate Candy
- In a small microwavable bowl, put 1 cup of candy melt and 2 tbsp shortening.
- Heat it up in the microwave in 30 seconds increments. After every 30 seconds, make sure to mix it so the bottom of the bowl does not get burned. I usually do about 2-3 of the 30 seconds increments.
- Pour into the plastic mold. After 10 minutes, pop the candy out of the mold. Put the candy on top of the frosting.
